Hi,
I understand your concern.
Excessive bleeding following miscarriage can be due to-
- Retained fetal parts/incomplete abortion. Here bleeding will not stop unless there is complete expulsion of products of conception. You are having it for 4 weeks! Long standing incomplete abortion may result in sticking few parts to uterine cavity.In such case, D&C ( miner surgery) is done to remove the products fully- thus controlling bleeding.
- Menstrual period may get disturbed after abortion( due to hormonal imbalance)- this may result in excessive bleeding after complete abortion.A course of cyclical hormonal therapy is advised to such patients.
* You should get your abdominal sonography done to differentiate between two.
* consult a gynecologist for specific management thereafter.
Thanks,
